June 2, Grimaldi Front.

Join forces with Zaft's army and engage in another fierce battle at the Ndimion Crater.

With the painful loss of the Third Fleet, the Coalition deliberately disable the "Cyclops" and broke the Zaft army.

In this battle, special MA units were jointly deployed, all of which were equipped with the Mobius Zero, which is said to be comparable to the MS in space.

This is an MA equipped with a line barrel gun, according to the data shows that it does have combat performance equal to or even surpassing the GINN, but in actual combat due to the complexity of its operation, the requirements for the driver are too high, so this special MA unit failed to play the expected role.

Only after the war, known as the 'Eagle of Endymion', Mu. Pull. Vlada made the most of the aircraft's performance, shooting down four Ginns in this battle.

With the MS and MA outnumbering five to one, the appearance of the 'Eagle of Endymion' greatly boosted the morale of the Combine.

On the side of the Zaft army, Law. Rash. Kreuzer participated in the battle as the captain of the Lorasia-class battleship, and was awarded the Nazca-class battleship for his exploits in defeating the Third Fleet, and the Kreuzer team became an elite unit within the army dedicated to special missions.

However, the Zaft army, which suffered heavy losses, had to retreat from the moon, and the Combine side also suffered heavy losses, and the moon was calm again.

L4, the resource satellite 'Nova' under the management of the Republic of East Asia.

The Coalition Forces (the main force of the East Asian Republic Space Force) and the ZAFT have been engaged in offensive and defensive battles here for nearly a month, and although the two sides have not held large-scale fleet battles, the continuous skirmishes have never stopped.

During the month-long firefight, the Raptor purchased by the Republic of East Asia from Orb showed much higher combat effectiveness than the Morbius.

The Raptor's force is the only fighting force in the East Asian Republic capable of confronting Zaft's MS forces.

However, as the damage grew, the Republic of East Asia made the decision to abandon the Nova in order to preserve its combat strength.

Nova, the offensive and defensive battle is over.

Zaft converted Nova into a military fort and moved it to L5 and renamed it Boyaz.

With the end of the Nova offensive and defensive battle, the Zaft army and the combined army reduced large-scale military operations, although the skirmishes still did not stop, but the division of forces between the two sides basically stabilized, and the battle situation entered a stalemate.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the top brass of the Coalition Army, who had always believed that their side would win easily, finally realized their mistake.

In order to break the deadlock, the Combine restarted Brigadier General Halbarton's joint MS development program, and the secretly ongoing 'G' program regained the attention of the upper echelons of the army and received substantial financial assistance.

Gina was given the opportunity to get his hands on Project 'G', and Brigadier General Halbarton offered to transfer the research secrets to the Dawning Society branch in Heliopolis for reasons of speeding up the progress and safety, which played into Gina's hands.

Orb, the newly built Celean family mansion, became Yura's new residence in Orb.

Mina secretly visits Yura, the current head of the Celan family, and under the guidance of the maid, Mina meets Yura, who is in the study.

"Welcome to the Humble House." Yura put down what she was doing, waved off the maid and entertained the guests herself: "Please sit, black tea or coffee?" ”

Mina gave Yura a strange look, and said simply, "Black tea." ”

"Wait a minute." Yura made a pot of black tea for Mina herself, "Try it, I'm still a little confident in the craft of making tea, Cagalli likes it very much." ”

Mina frowned slightly when she heard Cagalli's name, and then after trying it, she put down her teacup and said bluntly, "Reluctantly, it seems that you are stupid...... The fiancée's taste is not very good. ”

Originally, Mina subconsciously wanted to call Cagalli a stupid princess, but suddenly remembered that this title would cause Yura's displeasure and suddenly changed her words.

"............" Yura smiled bitterly, "It's really a harsh evaluation, can't you flatter me a little?" ”

Yura really felt that the black tea she brewed was good, but she didn't expect Mina's evaluation to be so low.

"Because you're now the head of the Sailan family?" Mina glanced at Jura disdainfully.

"Okay, okay." Jura raised her hand in surrender, then sat down across from Mina and asked, "So what's the matter with me?" ”

"Gina is finally involved in the affairs of the union." Mina said, "You must have heard of the secret development of Project G. I don't know why, but my father actually acquiesced to Gina's behavior. ”

"You're worried that this will cause Orb to happen?" Jura asked.

"Isn't it?" Mina accentuated her tone slightly, "Haven't you always been against this?" ”

Jura's overly calm behavior puzzled Mina, who remembered that Jura had been against getting too close to the Union.

Yura did think a lot about the Aurora's involvement in Project G, but finally decided not to interfere too much.

The system has not given Yura any design drawings for the MS, so Orb will have to participate in Project G if he wants to obtain the manufacturing technology of the MS.

And Heliopolis is indeed a very desirable secret manufacturing site.

"Do you object to this, then?" Yura asked rhetorically, "Obviously, you can get the manufacturing technology for MS. ”

Mina remained silent, it seemed that the gains and losses in this matter were indeed difficult to calculate, and it was no wonder that Mina wavered.

Although she had been verbally against this, Yura did not see her take any action to stop it.

This is another form of saying no, but the body is very honest.

Bang!

Mina slammed the table, and hot black tea spilled on Yura's hand.

"It's hot!" Yura shook off the tea in her hand in embarrassment, and couldn't help but complain: "Why did you suddenly lose your temper so much?" ”

Truth be told, Yura hadn't seen Mina slap the table since the Equatorial Coalition War.

How so?

Obviously the momentum is very scary, but Yura feels unexpectedly cute, which is better than an expressionless iceberg face.

"It's nothing, it's just that it suddenly feels like you're thinking about something rude."

Mina said leisurely as if nothing had happened.

"This must be your delusion." Jura snorted.

"Really?" Mina took another sip of Yura's black tea, and for some reason, she was in a surprisingly better mood when she saw Yura's somewhat embarrassed appearance, and even the originally unpalatable black tea felt a lot smoother.

"Speaking of which, I haven't officially congratulated you on becoming the head of the Sailan family." With a slightly softened expression, Mina said to Yura, "Congratulations, Yura. ”

"I don't know why, but it always feels like you're mocking me." Yura said depressedly.

"It's good that you have this realization." Seeing Yura's depressed appearance, Mina felt a little lighter.
